DiscRecording with Ratoc FR1SX Firewire- SCSI adapter and TEAC CDR-58S

I am trying to burn CD's with a TEAC CDR-58S (Firmware 1.0P) through the Ratoc FR1SX (Firmware 1.33)
OS X DiscRecording won't let me perform this task.
DiscRecording fails immediately with the message
"Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc driver failed. (Error code 0x80020022)"
This happens on OS X Panther 10.3.9 and Tiger 10.4.5
Using 'drutil getconfig' from the terminal gives following message:
Vendor Product Rev
TEAC CD-R58S 1.0P
Media: Busy
_DRDeviceGetConfiguration returned 2147614753 (-2147352543 0x80020021)
GetConfiguration returned 0 bytes.
Current Profile: 0
Device Config complete.
Reading from CD's works flawlessly by the way.
I checked for correct termination and term powering, also the SCSI IDs are correct. Furthermore I tried several configuration settings
It looks like the DiscBurning framework sets some wrong information into the 'cdb' when issuing the SCSI "GET INFORMATION" call.
Does anybody use a Ratoc FR1SX and got it working with a TEAC CDR-58S?
Thanks,

Sorry Scott - you're not getting the responses for this at all... I don't use a Ratoc adapter, but have considered it. I do recall Trai talking about this particular adapter some time ago now, and the fact that the slightly older driver was more reliable than the newer version. Whether or not that situation has since changed I can't say.
The error message you are getting might indeed be referring to the driver for the Ratoc adapter - is there an older driver available on their website at all?
You might try contacting Trai directly to see if he can shed some light on this - as far as I know the adapter isn't widely used, although some folk must be using it, I'd have thought.
A final thought is to see if you can find someone who has a DLT drive connected to a G4 or 5 and ask them if they can read the tape back in to verify the info is written to it correctly. My guess is the Ratoc driver writes out fine, but struggles to import it all back in...
Good luck!

Help with settings / tips for ratoc fr1sx firewire - scsi adapter

I'm hooking up a Quantum DLT 7000 using the ratoc firewire to scsi adapter and I think a few people on this board have been through the process, which I've read can be a bit of a hassle.
I was hoping soemoine might be able to share what settings ultimately worked for them on the fr1 utility or any other tips they may have for using this kind of setup.
thanks

Did anyone manage to read DLT with Ratoc FR1SX?

Hi guys.
This week I got the Ratoc Firewire to SCSI adapter and hooked up my DLT4000 machine.
DVD SP (and every other relavant application I tried) worked perfectly to write the tapes with this adapter. Even dual layer projects, with the historically traumatic tape switching moment.
However, none of the applications (including DVD SP) could read back from the DLT tapes. The error messages were all different. But it doesn't work. And reading DLT doesn't work either when booting in Win XP.
From a search I just did, apparently nobody here ever got the Ratoc adapter to read DLT (bad, but not the end of the world, considering that some other authoring apps can write but don't have an option to read DLT!).
I wonder if the FR1SX configuration utility has some obscure checkbox or setting that will make it able to read DLT? Perhaps somebody found this magical setting?

Hi,
it's very interesting that the Ratoc works with your setup, which version of DVDSP are you running?
I am planning a similar setup (I have a Quantum 4000 too) and was wrecking my brains trying to fit in the DLT drive. If your DVDSP is v.4.x it would be great news. Have you had your DLT tape tested by the replication plant to make sure it is written ok?
Please let me know.
PS. Sorry I can't help with your reading-back issue, but does it really matter? Being able to write/format to DLT reliably without a SCSI card is alone an achievement!

HT201338 Can I connect a firewire 400 to firewire 800 adapter and then a firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter(standard Thunderbolt to firewire adapter) together to digitize video from a miniDV video camcorder?

I have a 10 year Canon MiniDV camcorder that I used to connect via firewire to digitize the data. Now my IMac only has a Thunderbolt connector and my camcorder uses the older firewire 400 standard. I would like to digitize the video into my IMac. How can I do this?

I did a little looking around and found a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter, and then a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter, but no Thunderbolt to Firewire 400. Amazon and Apple stores had the Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 cable and Amazon had the Firewire 400 to 800 adapater.
Wherever you get the cables, ask them if it will work OK with what you want to try and do - if they don't know make sure you can return if there is a problem. I think it will because the Thunderbolt side is so much faster than what the camera can pump out to it. If it were the other way (Thunderbolt device to a Firewire computer I would expect that to fail since the Firewire could never keep up with the data rate of the incoming Thunderbolt device).
Maybe if you have a local Mac user group or a friend with an older mac with a firewire 400 port you could do it this way too?
Good luck

Apple FireWire Power Adapter and iPod Classic

I just looked through the user guide, and it doesn't mention anything positive or negative about using the Apple FireWire Power Adapter that came with my 3G iPod. Any chance I'm going to fry my new iPod if I try charging it with the Firewire Power Adapter?
Thanks,
Steve

No, you will not fry your new iPod.

USB to SCSI Adapter - Anyone have one?

I'm trying to find one that works. I need to connect an Epson Expresson 836XL large format scanner to my iMac, and this is the only way.
I'm looking for an OS 10.5.x compatible adapter that has a 50 pin SCSI interface on one side and (USB 2 preferrably) on the other. I'm not sure of the exact SCSI type though.
George Peters found this one for me, but perhaps there are alternatives?

Thanks. ~Kort

Good news everyone!
I bought it and installed it (with a 50 pin port adapter) and am pleased to say that the the Ratoc FR1SX is compatible with the Epson 836XL scanner using the latest VueScan software. And the optional power supply in not necessary. It took a few restarts and some playing with the supplied driver software supplied by Ratoc on a CD, but it does now work smoothly.
I am thrilled. It scans images beautifully, perhaps better than when attached to the old G4. And it is faster as well. For about $150 I know have a working 13x19 scanner instead of having to get a new one for $2000 or more.
So yes, there is a *SCSI to Firewire adapter* out there that works in OS 10.5.2.
Spread the good word...

Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
Hope this helps.

Problem with microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport adapter

Hi, I am Shakil Rahman. For last 4-5 days, the wireless interent connection has not been working. I have tried to figure out the problem with the aid of internet since I am not so efficient about computer. According to the information obtained from internet,
the problem is with microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport adapter and there is a 'Triangle symbol' (Symbol of attention) unlike Atheros AR5B93 wireless network adapter and Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet under the 'Network Adapters' title. In this circumstances,
how can I fix this problem to enable wireless connection? I would be grateful if you help me out.

Hi Shakil Rahman
You can try to uninstall your WIFI adapter driver in your Device Manager, then reboot your computer, the system will find and reinstall the driver automatically.
If there is no use, please contact your computer manufacture for further help.

I need a USB/FireWire ethernet adapter

About 6 months ago my ethernet port was fried when a lightning bolt sent a surge through the wire. Since then i have been using my family's wireless network, but now that I am back in school and away from home, i don't have that luxury. So, i've been looking for a Mac compatible USB/FireWire ethernet adapter and have had no luck. If anyone knows where I can find one, let me know.

Hi Kllru,
Welcome to the Discussions.
The following link has info on compatible adapters as well as a driver for OS X.

Anybody know to where to get a 2nd wave Firewire to SCSI Adapter?

Hello
I want to connect my Imacon Flextight Photo to my 20" Imac.
My friend has 2nd Wave's Firewire-to-SCSI interface adapter and it works great.
I hear all sort of weird stuff about adapting these two component.
People are slacking of Ratoc, Orange micro and other brands. Doesnt work with Panther and so on.
So I just want this item which works on his Intel duo and has worked on his Powerbook and Ibook.
Even though I have heard others complain about having problems with 2nd wave.
Anybody know where to get it? Please...
Feel free emailing me directly.
Thank you!
Regards
Reimar

And oh I have tried their homepage.
They dont have it anymore.

Migration Assistant with Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

Hey gang-
Finally retiring my mid-2007 iMac with a new Late-2013 iMac. Yayyyy!
I've always been happy with Migration Assistant, but wanted to ask the experts if Migration Assistant will work with the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter. I'm planning on connecting the old iMac Firewire 800 port to the new iMac Thunderbolt port via the adapter. On a related note, I assume that same as always, I will need to boot the old iMac into Target Disk mode, right?
Thanks!
Dave

Of course. You can connect both iMacs with a FireWire 800 cable and a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter without any problem. The problem would come if the old iMac has not got FireWire 800 ports, but the Mid 2007 iMac comes with one.
In order to use Migration Assistant and transfer files from another iMac through FireWire, you need to put your old iMac in Target Disk mode as you said. To do this, simply hold the T key while your old iMac is starting up until you see the FireWire icon in the display. Then you can set up your new iMac, and you will be asked to transfer your data.
If you have already set up your new iMac, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

No internet with Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter

I bought a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, and i used it to connect a Iomega drive I previously used as USB.
When running OSX, no problem.
But when i boot the computer under Windows 7 (not SP1), if the adapter is connected, then the computer says that there aren't connections avalaible. If i boot without the adapter, everything worls fine and i can connect to my WiFi connection. (I don't have an Ethernet cable plugged, so i can't says if the Ethernet connection doesn't work too)
Any suggestion? Has someone experienced this?
Many thanks in advance!

MacBook Air Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter and daisy-chaining external FW drives

Here is my problem—I have a MacBook Air 13" running Mavericks to which I want to attach external FW drive(s). This is easily achievable by using the Thunderbolt-to-FW 800 adapter. And the adapter works great until I try to daisy-chain two external drives. If I attach a second drive to the first one, it immediately unmounts the first drive and I get the 'improperly disconnected drive' warning.
I seem to recall that this was doable in Mountain Lion (about 85% sure). So is this a software or hardware problem? And, to go even deeper into the weeds, my two external FW drives are self-powered (no external power supply). So if I got wall warts for these drives, would it work? Or am I remembering this incorrectly and the adapter never supported daisy-chaining?
The external drives are a pair of G-Tech G-Drive minis, but one is a year to 18-months older than the other one, which means it probably has an older FireWire chipset, but on the other hand, they do mount successfully as self-powered FW 800 drives from a native FW 800 port, or even from a daisy-chain originating from a FW 800 port. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have 4 FW devices chained together and use the TB->FW dongle. They all have power bricks. I have several bus powered devices. Some are quirky, some just don't function, two work reliably. There's no question it is all about how much power they need and TB doesn’t supply enough. Bottom line for me: my bus powered FW drives are soley relegated to use with my last FW equipped computer and when it does they will too.

Attaching VGA video adapter and Firewire device

I'm using the VGA video adapter to attach my brand new Mac mini to a VGA screen. As the space between video port and Firewire port is too narrow with the VGA video adapter attached I can't connect any Firewire cable!
Anyone who knows how to connect VGA video adapter and Firewire device at the same time?

The DVI-VGA adapter I got with my last mini was barely wider than the video port on the back of the mini and since a firewire connector is also barely wider than the FW port itself, there was no problem connecting to both at the same time, with a small but distinct space between. Indeed, it's about the same space as between the adapter and a cable plugged into the nearest of the USB ports on the other side.
If you're having problems, you might find that connecting the firewire cable first might help, but otherwise either the adapter or the connector on your firewire cable is non-standard. If you still can't connect both, take the mini, along with your firewire cable and the DVI-VGA adapter to an Apple store and ask them to try.
